Times Square - New York City

- By Vivienne Gucwa
Times Square is its own universe. It's New York City filtered through cinematic dreams and commercially-tinged aspirations wrapped up in flashing lights and colorful billboards. There is a familiarity to it that is tinged with a wild-eyed estranged quality that makes it all the more alluring.
And when a yellow New York City taxi cab drives by at the speed of light under all the flashing lights, it's hard not to smile.

Urban Mirages - Soho Street - New York City

- By Vivienne Gucwa
In the bright afternoon light of the sun, the city squints its eyes momentarily.
Buildings emerge from their slumbering shadows and streets glisten.
It's during this momentary squint that every sun gleam and distant figure on each sun-kissed street flicker in and out of view: urban mirages filtered through the eyes of the city.
